Motor City Bowl
From NCAA College Football Information & Resource
The Motor City Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game that has been played annually since 1997. The first five games (1997-2001) were played at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. Starting in 2002, the venue was moved to 65,000-seat Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
The game features a team from the Mid-American Conference playing one from the Big Ten Conference. If the Big Ten does not have an eligible team, the game has an agreement to feature a team from the Big East Conference.
The game is jointly sponsored by the "Big Three" automakers in Detroit: Ford, General Motors and DaimlerChrysle
